Seriously everyone stop bickering. At the end if the day we are credited in the OP. We are happy to let the OP continue. We don't need you to try and defend us, we have let it go and so should you.

If you didn't know TRM is no longer our forum mod, I'm sure if she was here the would of been infractions issued by now.

The last time I saw something like this happening it was almost the exact same situation, dome guy stripped CM7 and posted it. Some people including myself ripped this guy apart for what he had released. Now this bloke was young and it was the first time he had done any work on android, for all we know he might of grown to be a great dev. But we gave him so much crap he stopped. I for one felt pretty bad.

XDA and Android is about choice and freedom, it takes a lot of balls to release something so admire him for that if you can't admire his rom.

I'll report some posts and see if I can get the thread cleaned up.

Ok now this is the reaction I would rather see from one of the major developers. After all you gotta start somewhere. Just when I was starting to lose faith virtuous comes through with the save....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
I have a ROM made, this is my 2nd one. U should try it, its one of the best battery life gb roms. Its called g2 slim check it out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hawon:
ah i'm so tempting to try... i shouldn't take this short break to take a look at this =(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
You forgot to mention "...and it's simply awesome!!"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ArmedandDangerous:
Hmm. I have a problem with radios. After wiping and flashing this ROM I cannot get connected to mobile networks. WiFi works fine. I tried the regular Quattro ROM and it works fine. Gonna try flashing a radio and see if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
While trying to get wifi calling to work I've been messing around in the libs. I think I messed up a ril along the way. Or something went wrong with the ril switcher script.

Don't use 1.1, funny thing is wifi calling was working no prob with r9beta1, I might drop the base down to keep wifi calling active
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ArmedandDangerous:
Thanks! Will wait for the next version to flash this :) I tried installing a new radio but that didn't help. Will rmk40's ril automatcher from ages ago still work to match rils?

Virtuous Quattro Beta 2 has been released. Please update :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Just hoping to see a slimmed down version of the latest ICS soon and yes I know we all have other "real" jobs. :)

Kirby
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
I'm workin on it now. I'm trying to get wifi calling to stay on. It keeps dropping off an restarting
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Thanks for the update I have no problem waiting cause like you wifi calling is very important. At my house I was able to get a cell/fi from TMo but at my sons house you have to have wifi or you aren't going to be making any calls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
updated ROM:

1.2

-updated base to quattro beta 6 (virtuous FTW!!)

-fixed ril switcher

-fixed data connectivity problem

-updated nova to beta10

-changed bootanimation (retro g1)

-fixed gps lock issues

-changed device name to tmobile g2

-fixed wifi calling (leave feedback still buggy)

i got wifi calling working! i can make calls and send text messages. after the call has ended, wifi calling drops off and restarts 20 seconds later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
My wifi calling wouldn't pick up a call yesterday, anybody having issues? I thought it would be full of bugs
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shadow-Nexus:
does this rom have the graphical glitches?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pearse:
It's using Quattro as it's base so I think it's safe to assume it would.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
You simply removed the zip from the directory, didn't you? That (beautiful) bootanimation is the fallback for the OS. xD

That happened to me using cell towers! A couple of times, too. I decided to downgrade to your 2.3 1.6 though. Amazing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Haha yep, it was built into android an the best bootanimation in my opinion. It also keeps the zip file slimmed down, 10mb of nothing here an there really adds up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
Just wandering but do u have permission from the devs to alter there rom like that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
See kids, this is why grammar and reading go hand-in-hand.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Lots of things in the original release have nothin to do with our phones, we do not have nfc so I ripped all the nfc **** out. A bunch of apks that I removed would have been running backgound processes that take up valuble RAM and eat battery. I don't see how removing an email app can cause any problems

Ya it took me a while (a **** load of flashes) to see what was REALLY needed, some bloat from 2.3 is a must in 4.0 or it breaks something else.

Oh an the point of this, like I said in the 2nd post (I know no1 reads at all) was to make a base for myself to start to dev on 4.0. I will NOT install a overbloated rom on my phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
The xda police are out in full force! Read! Why would u even post this?? Is it a bug?? This is the dev section or general? Are u from the virtuous team??? Did u read the 2nd post??

Don't post anything into my thread unless it can help

Edit: Actually don't post anything at all unless u read the thread, this should be common sense for everyone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
I have had a lot of fun with this ROM. ICS and this ROM's battery life almost makes me want to switch permanently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
True that, edited my rant.

For real though, this section should be used only as a bug tracker and to help aid in progress. people need to think b4 they post. An I do NOT want 5 members commenting on this post. Let's stay on topic, makin ics greater than it is
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
I fixed wifi calling, let me know if there is any bugs
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hawon:
my g2 died and T-Mobile sent me a G2 with bad screen =\.. until they send me another replacement, I will test this again before go back to gingerbread slim 1.6 :D

It is great to see wifi-calling is working :)

Thanks OP!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Does the wifi-calling app support non-standard screen densities like 210 or lower? If not, would it be possible to make it so?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
No it only supports the 240 for the 1st initial setup, once its enabled u should be able to change the density
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidcues:
Dudes...Kangers. & Kangees...

came on here specifically to say

"wow...ive flashed probably everything ever put out by anyone for the Vision and seriously this puppy is slim! the only thing i had to delete was Music.apk... my favorite surprise was to see good old Android 1.5 bootanimation... thanks"

and i see juvenile drivel because someone took the recess ball and started playing kickball with it rather than prisonball?

Please... and FWIW the OP gave plenty of credit what do you want..your name in blinking pink lights?

Sometimes especially on a ****ty morning when your phones existing installation is acting up like a ***** this comes in real handy when you are ten minutes away from opening of court sessions and need your exchange email.

Well done.. I say.. and Thanks.

Camera is working on quattro!!! Waiting for the ICS slim to get the camera as well!!

Sent from... THE DARK SIDE!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Noooooooooo (in vaders voice, since u sent it from the dark side)

I'm late for work and have to work late tonight! Damn, ill try for an ics slim 1.3 tonight
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Quick question b4 I start on 1.3, u guys think I should kill off the quattro control??? The only thing I use from it is the battery % mod, so its a waste for me. an I can make my own battery mod and make it look better.

Tryin to keep it slim here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DroidCell:
Own battery mod sounds awesome!!!

Sent from... THE DARK SIDE!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
Cant wait for your version! Slim is always better and anything to get a touch longer battery would be great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erisnake:
Thanks for the rom

But I need the Email application.

How can I install it back ?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hawon:
I used it fore three days and had some issues of screen glitching and stuff

Still not as close to gingerbread slim v.1.6

Keep up the good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erisnake:
I also got these graphical issues now and then.

Also another bug : the keybord light doesn't turn on when we open it.

Overall I like this rom, but i noticed a huge battery consumption and high memory use.

For the next version, the email stock app would be great (more convenient than only "gmail")

good luck and thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
updated links, i will add the stock email app back into the ROM in the next release. so how is wifi calling working? i know it cant be bug free, any feedback?????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] newarkhiphop:
big fan of your other GB slim rom, going to flash this one later today.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erisnake:
thanks for the email app.

for the wifi calling i don't know personally, because i don't have t―mobile or a compatible plan.

i just still have the graphical bug, plus sometimes the icons disappear entirely from nova launcher, i can't even restart nova launcher (the "menu" button doest trigger any choices. it happens randomly.

questions:

1 - eventually, i found out how to make the keyboard light work: you need to move the brighness on the status bar, then the keyboard will light up. otherwise the keyboard light won't automatically turn on.

is it a bug that can be fixed?

2 - i sometimes get a pop up asking me to update nova. shall i do this update ? will it be conflictual with the current nova of your rom?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Wrong thread. Disregard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
1. Turn on auto brightness

2.update nova, I will make a 1.3 with the updated nova
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Going to try this...Not from USA so I can't test wifi calling, sorry :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] K.Bix:
So Far So Good

Wifi calling is on point. Looking forward to the camera fix :) Thanks for all the work you do, I have learned a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Update should be 2nite, sry for the delay.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Neejay:
no need to apologize, you're doing us a favor :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
updated ROM:

1.3

-updated base to quattro rc2

-sdcard readfix set to 4096 (see how fast ICS gallery opens now)

-stability fixes for wifi calling

-added stock email app

-removed google music (get it from the market, too many updates)

-updated nova
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Just flashed 1.3.

So far I'm impressed. Was about to go back to miui but tried this and I'm glad I did.

Its fast as hell. Most of the cr+p that comes with roms I never use so this is great. Will stick with it for a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Thanks man, glad u like it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
I need feedback on gps, mine is taking days to lock. Its cloudy as hell here, gonna test tomorrow if its clear out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
I'm about to go out for a ride and gonna (try to) use mytracks. I'll let you know how I get on.

OP: I've had quite a few fc's and some difficulty dling from the market. Its settled down a bit now. I've put it down to changing to ext4 and system confusion.

One thing that isn't working correctly is some of my music isn't able to play due to unsupported file type. What can I do to get a codec or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Flashed it over Quattro with just Wipe dalvik.

Problem to have data.

Trying to fix it. Anyone else with the same problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Neejay:
I did a superwipe before installing and I still don't have a data connection either. I tried toggling the data setting, but I still don't have data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kasaijana:
Same Problem with connection here. I don't even get a promt for entering my pin.

Did a full wipe with G2 script.

Back to Virtuous Quattro for now, your slim version is a lot faster...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Squel:
Same problem here :(

Rom is very fast and I like it :-D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
For me it's related to Pin ID.

I cut it then pull it on.

It seems no to have autorisation problem on the red...

I try a fix permissions from the recovery to see...

Result : nothing changes....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
update on my gps and usage.

Gps didn't hook up at all. Was out on my bike for 2 hours and mytracks didn't connect once. Data ok though.

As for my usage experience. The launcher kept losing the icons in the dock and a restart was the only way to get them back. Wifi kept dropping out every couple of hours and had to turn of/on to get back online. Although I found it the fastest of the ics roms, I felt it still had a lag that felt unnatural to me. Part of that was the way it scrolls. Its just not as fluid as miui or cm7. This is the case on all ics roms I've tried so not picking at this rom in particular.

As a result of this I have gone back to miui for now. Ill be back to try future releases as I can see it has a potential to be great and I really like the slim style.

Thanks for a great rom all the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
thanks man, thats what i needed, im off to fix gps and the damn data connectivity again. i keep breaking data while trying to fix wifi calling and make it more stable. you can set the wifi to stay on even when the screen is off, i think that might help the wifi problem.

i know ICS is still sluggish even with it stripped down and the hardware acceleration on. my g2slim ROM kills this one its way smoother, faster and gets double the battery life. ICS does have a lot of cool **** in it though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
damn i fixed every thing, flashed it, everything is great. then virtuous updates quattro...... back to the drawing board.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
updated ROM...... again...... in the same day:

1.4

-full wipe required

-updated base to quattro rc3

-fixed data connectivity

-fixed gps lock issue

-removed torch

-wifi calling perfected???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
Going to try it out as soon as the download finishes. This will be my first ICS experience. I'll let you know if I come across anything wonky.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
as always i need feedback, and please nothing about the graphical glitches.

i rarely have these graphical glitches, maybe once a day to every other day if that? i think it has to do with the amount of ram that the device has. i have about 190mb free ram with everything installed. also i think nova launcher might help out, but i duno
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
right on, glad i can be your 1st :D

i like ICS its cool, flashy, lots of good features. its jus a lil laggy sometimes, I still keep goin back to my g2 slim ROM based on 2.3.4, i need more battery life and a full featured camera for takin pics at my work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
I use your GB rom a lot too. I have a habit of switching between it and MIUI. I'd love to see what you could do with an MIUI rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
im a miui hater, i cant stand apple and miui reminds me of wack ass apple. i might take a dive into it soon though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
gps is fixed

rc3 seems smoother
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] n19878:
Exchange Sync

I thank you for the work and time you spend on doing this rom.

I would use this rom as I like also the clean version of roms but the exchange sync does not exist on this rom, also I like to have a full working camera. At the moment I can work with the lgcamera from the market mentioned in some threads.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
No major issues so far. I didn't really care for nova, so I'm running GoLauncher EX instead. Wifi calling and data seem to be working fine. It's fairly smooth and responsive, better than CM7.1 was. I think I'm going to keep it on for a couple of days and see how things go.

I'm not installing the normal crap ton of apps I usually do for now, just the minimum that I use all the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Ill add exchange back in the next update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Thanks man. Updates thick and fast :-)

What's the headlines on the VQ changelog?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
This is one rapid rom. Coming from MIUI which is the fastest and smoothest rom its surprisingly good for a beta
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
2 questions.

1) does "email" app work? Because it takes forever to setup my hotmail account.

2) I've backed up my sms from my previous rom, is there a way to input it back into this rom?

Btw lovin the rom :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erisnake:
Didn't try email app yet.

Is the camera supposed to work on the 1.4 ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Yes it works but there r some green lines in higher resolutions
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
I already have the Quattro inherited graphical gliches.

I think I'm going to give Andromadus a try.

I will calme back later maybe...

Big thanks for your work anyway
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tpayne1:
Did you remove quattro control completely? Have you added your own power features if that is the case?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
No just wipe dalvik cache and flash over.

Not important, I wanted to try Andro...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
1. i duno, i dont use the stock email app.

2. im like 80% sure u cant restore the backup, try it! i had to send my important texts to my gmail address.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
That most people who work for cell phone companies are incompetent when it comes to cell phone knowledge? It is quite amusing to ask them questions or call into the tech support line for help. I would guess 97.4% of them are clueless about what they are talking about
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nobnut:
I think you spoke to this guy...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Marky143:
What the? hahahaha . . . .lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
Exactly. At some point I just stopped talking to them at all, it's completely pointless. Same with computer shop staff and car dealers. An evening with google is way more productive before a decision on something important/expensive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mart_Bud:
Yeah before I got my note I was ringing up every phone shop asking them if they knew when the Galaxy Note would be in stock.

I would then receive the reply "Don't you mean the Galaxy Nexus?"

No I mean the Galaxy Note.

"Hmm I don't think we do that phone I'm afraid."

Yes you do.

"Okay, well let me check the system.....*after a while* Oh yes we do sell that phone but we have no release date yet I'm afraid."

Then when I did buy my phone the guy instore was amazed with the phone..never heard of it and couldn't believe the size of the screen...Why do they work in these places!?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Not that I don't agree but its interesting to know how did you come up with that %number.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AdzUK:
When the Note was released, I wanted to see it before purchasing it to get some idea on the size. In the UK we have the CPW (carphonewarehouse), anyway I made the mistake of visiting their local store...

Me: Hi mate, do you have the Galaxy Note in stock?

Him: The what?

Me: The Galaxy Note.

Him: Whats that?

Me: A phone.

Him: We don't sell that phone.

Me: Are you sure? Will any other CPW have it in stock?

Him: Are you sure it's called the Galaxy Note?

Me: 100%

Him: One sec I will check our system. *checks* Nope we do not offer that phone at all at any of our branches in the UK.

Me: Even though it is on your website?

Him: Erm...

Me: BYE.

Absolutely utter tools some of them.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
It may be worse here in the USA but I have listened in when my wife has called and they really are complete morons sometimes. Just today I went into an att store and the sales person swore up and down my note would not work on their network, and they had no idea what the damn thing was. Oh and I had to inform the person it was coming to att soon which they were shocked.

They amaze me sometimes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
They are absolutely have no interested in the job or career they are doing. For them, they just come to work, end office hour, then go back home. They only interested in their salary they get every month ;'d
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spfraggle:
During the time i lived in the US, i worked for T-Mobile in customer care. Due to my experience with Windows Mobile devices i had much more knowledge than anyone in the technical care team. But get this, on winmo devices you could only have 1 hotmail email synced on the device and in our system which held info on the touch pro 2 and the hd2 there was listed a "known issue" of only being able to have one hotmail account on the device. The listed remedy? A matter reset! No one at tmo, who write this stuff had even worked out you could sign out and sign back in with another account. Total chimps the lot of them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GuestX0057:
Not to sound like a douche but come on guys.

Most of the people working at places like CPW, Bestbuy or whatever are there simply to sell stuff that they have. Those stores have hundreds if not thousands of different products and it is literally impossible for any salesperson in those places to know every single product they sell inside out or even all the product names.

Even companies like AT&T that sell mostly phones and broadband stuff have tens/hundreds of items. Being a tool at the salespeople in these places is just that, being a tool.

And just in case some of you didn't know this yet, for a salesperson the most important thing is to know the few best products and how to promote them best. Even though I love my Note, I'm quite sure it isn't the leading pulling factor for electronic & phone stores.

However I do agree that in after sale -services such as helpedesk or troubleshooting they should have people who actually know what they are talking about.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Yuretsz:
In Ukraine every single clerk knew about SGN, its delivery dates and other tech specs :)

Perhaps it is because of huge advertising campaign by Samsung about this phone.

Why restrict it to phone company employees?
